Ready to take the first step?
There are a number of great ways to start your journey into swing dancing!

  • Join a pre-dance lesson: Many of the swing dance events that you see on the calendar already have a beginner lesson before the dance. This is a great way to learn the basic steps, while meeting people with whom you can dance during the event. Some regular events that have a class prior include:
    • Bainbridge Swing Dance – First Saturday of the Month – Beginning jitterbug lesson – 8-9p
